Iron-Age and Roman Coins Jonathan Williams IRON-AGE AND ROMAN COINS JONATHAN WILLIAMS Introduction THE twin subjects of this essay, the study of Iron-Age and Roman coinage within Britain over the past century, present a somewhat paradoxical picture when viewed from the particular perspective of British Numismatic Journal.' Over the century of its existence the Journal has published approximately three times as many pieces on Iron-Age coins as on Roman coins and, for the sake of a comparison with a series from a different period, twice as many on the coins of Charles I. The coinages of the peoples of Britain before the Roman conquest are fairly represented, as are the various coinages of medieval and later Britain, whereas the Romans seem, to have been given the cold shoulder.2 On the face of it, the under-representation of studies on Roman coinage which, after all, was more voluminous in quantity than any other in circulation within Britain before or since for a thousand years or more, is somewhat startling. Yet perhaps this should not come as too much of a surprise. This is, after all, a journal of a soci- ety whose object is 'the . promotion of . the study of the coins, medals and tokens of the peo- ples of the British Isles . .'. According to one view of the British past, this counts our Celtic ancestors in and the Roman invaders out. The problem is that this view is about as old as the Society itself. The prevailing idea of 'British' history around 1900 did tend to exclude the Romans from its story. They came, saw and conquered, provisionally in 55 BC under Julius Caesar, then again rather more permanently in AD 43, and sailed away in AD 410 just in time for the fall of Rome. The Romans were regarded as a foreign power ruling over the British, rather than as per- manent settlers who contributed to the peopling of Britain. (Not surprisingly perhaps, late Victorian Britons tended to imagine that the Romans lived separately from their British subjects in much the same ways as they themselves tended to keep apart from their African and Indian sub- jects.) The Romans were thus held to be different from Celts, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Normans, in that they had left no genetic inheritance and, therefore, had exerted no lasting influence on the development of the British character, of which the historical origins and development were the focus of much attention in the period of Britain's imperial zenith. A key text in this regard is Matthew Arnold's Study of Celtic Literature, published in 1867, in which Arnold analyses the national character of the Britons as though it were an alloy of different historic elements - Celtic, Anglo-Saxon and Norman - and attributes different aspects of it to each of these constituent parts. The Romans are notably, and characteristically, absent from this compound (except indirectly via the Normans). Very few in late nineteenth-century Britain regarded the Romans as even part- ancestors of the British.3 This view of the Romans would receive its first major critique at around the same time as the foundation of the British Numismatic Society. In 1906 Francis Haverfield first published his ground-breaking work entitled The Romanization of Roman Britain, in which he set out a very different view of Roman Britain, according to which the Britons became thoroughly, though not 1 I am grateful to Richard Abdy, Roger Bland, Andrew Burnett, Clive Cheesman, Peter Guest, Colin Haselgrove, Richard Hingley, Richard Hobbs, Philip de Jersey, Michael Morse and Richard Reece for their many helpful comments on this paper. 2 Figures taken from Contents of the British Numismatic Journal, volumes 1 to 66 (1903/4-1996) (edited by R.H. Thompson, London, 1996). Later volumes do not substantially alter the picture. 3 But see R. Hingley, Roman Officers and English Gentlemen (London, 2000), who argues that this attitude was beginning to gain ground in the late nineteenth century. IRON-AGE AND ROMAN COINS 45 uniformly, imbued with Roman culture, and essentially became Roman in the course of centuries of interaction and participation in the life of the Roman Empire.4 This set Romano-British studies off in a completely new direction, such that to R.G. Collingwood, writing in 1924, the old view already seemed crude and dated.5 However, it has left its mark and is arguably still with us to this day. Insofar as the general public still has commonly held misconceptions about the British past, the idea of the Romans leaving Britain en masse to go back to Italy in 410 is, I would suggest, prominent among them. It is the persistence of this dated view of the Romans in Britain that best explains their absence from the pages of Britain's numismatic journal over the twentieth century. The fault does not lie solely with the successive editors of the Journal. Classicists have, after all, tended to gravitate towards the Numismatic Chronicle, the Journal of Roman Studies or, more recently, to Britannia. Harold Mattingly, perhaps the greatest British Roman numismatist of the twentieth century, did not publish a single article in BNJ, although he submitted many reports to the Chronicle on Roman coin hoards from Britain. This is all by way of introduction. Nevertheless, it is telling how deep and lasting a mark was left on the character of the Journal by views of British history that were prevalent in the years around the birth of the Society. Quite apart from the spat over Andrew's article in the Chronicle for 1901 which caused the initial secession, there was clearly something nationalist about the intentions of the Society's founding fathers, which was expressed as concern over the neglect among British numismatists of their great numismatic heritage. There was also clearly something imperialist, as evidenced by the inclusion within the Society's range of interests of the numismat- ics of the Commonwealth, the United States of America, and their various subject territories. So wrote the first President of the Society, Carlyon-Britton, in his introduction to the first volume of the Journal: The explanation [of the general want of appreciation of British Numismatics] must be that the true interest, worth and significance of British Numismatics have hitherto not been made known to the general public. The science has been tied up in the hands of those who have devoted their energies to the elucidation of the money of any pal- try state, rather than face the historical importance of the great coinage of Britain, which in the making of its sov- ereign, as the standard currency of the world, has made its Empire and its trade of to-day. But for the efforts of a few private individuals, the pages relating to British Numismatics would be chiefly con- spicuous by their absence. This it is confidently trusted will, in course of time, be remedied by the volumes of this Journal, for no other country has hitherto shown such indifference to the knowledge of its own money.6 The tone is unmistakably that of the frustrated, insular antiquarian chaffing at what appeared as the excessively cosmopolitan interests of his contemporaries, and is made all the more obvious by the tendentiousness of his remarks.7 But it was not untypical of the times. In the years before the outbreak of the First World War the increasingly tense international situation and the obvious decline of Britain's supremacy in world affairs, despite the apparent pre-eminence of the Empire, led to an ever more shrill note of nationalist patriotism in public discourse and, in the world of antiquarianism and the arts, a growing concern for the preservation and protection of Britain's national heritage from foreign acquisition, and for the raising of its profile in the public mind. The National Trust was founded in 1895, followed soon after by the British Academy in 1902 'for the Promotion of Historical, Philosophical and Philological Studies', and the National Art Collections Fund in 1903 by a group of enthusiasts who were determined to save works of art for British pub- lic collections.8 The foundation of the British Numismatic Society in the same year can be seen as another example of these trends at the turn of the century. These in turn seem also to have led to the imbalance in the amount of space devoted within the pages of its journal to the subjects of this chapter, British Iron-Age and Roman coins, to which I shall now turn. 4 First published in Proceedings of the British Academy 2 (1906), 185-217, and later reissued in an expanded version as a book.

A Fellow of the Royal Society, he researched into ques- tions of water supply and aquiferous strata and was President of the Royal Geological Society from 1874 to 1876 and of the Society of Antiquaries, in addition to his long presidency of the (Royal) Numismatic Society, which lasted from 1874 to 1908.

  • Coin Inscriptions and the Origins of Writing in Pre-Roman Britain1 Jonathan Williams
    COIN INSCRIPTIONS AND THE ORIGINS OF WRITING IN PRE-ROMAN BRITAIN1 JONATHAN WILLIAMS Introduction THE subject of writing in pre-Roman Britain has, until recently, been the object of curious neglect among archaeologists and historians. One simple reason for this is that there is not very much of it in evidence. There are no lapidary inscriptions, and only a few, short graffiti and other scraps of evidence (on which see more below). Contrast this with the situation after the Roman conquest, and the overwhelming impression is that pre-Roman Britain was essentially a pre-literate society, and that writing was brought to Britain by the Romans. And yet there is the not inconsiderable corpus of coin legends from pre-Roman Britain which, if allowed to do so, might seem to tell a rather different story. The object of this paper is to see what kind of story that might be. It has always been a major blind-spot of numismatists, and increasingly archaeologists too since they stopped reading ancient texts, that they tend not to think very much about coin legends other than as a key to attributing the coin to a particular tribe, city or ruler. One result of this is that it seems to have gone more or less unremarked upon in most treatments of late iron-age Britain that the coin legends that appear on the coins in the late first century BC are the first, and by far the largest, body of evidence for the introduction of writing into these islands and of its uses in the pre-Roman period.

  • Celtic Coins and Their Archetypes
    Celtic Coins and their Archetypes The Celts dominated vast parts of Europe from the beginning of the 5th century BC. On their campaigns they clashed with the Etruscans, the Romans and the Greeks, they fought as mercenaries under Philip II and Alexander the Great. On their campaigns the Celts encountered many exotic things – coins, for instance. From the beginning of the 3rd century, the Celts started to strike their own coins Initially, their issued were copies of Greek, Roman and other money. Soon, however, the Celts started to modify the Greek and Roman designs according to their own taste and fashion. By sheer abstraction they managed to transform foreign models into typically Celtic artworks, which are often almost modern looking. 1 von 27 www.sunflower.ch Kingdom of Macedon, Alexander III the Great (336-323 BC) in the Name of Philip II, Stater, c. 324 BC, Colophon Denomination: Stater Mint Authority: King Alexander III of Macedon Mint: Colophon Year of Issue: -324 Weight (g): 8.6 Diameter (mm): 19.0 Material: Gold Owner: Sunflower Foundation Through decades of warfare, King Philip II had turned Macedon into the leading power of the Greek world. In the summer of 336 BC he was assassinated, however, and succeeded by his son Alexander, who would later be known as "the Great." This coin was minted one year before Alexander's death. It bears a beautiful image of Apollo. The coin is a so-called Philip's stater, as Alexander's father Philip had already issued them for diplomatic purposes (bribery thus) and for the pay of his mercenaries.

Around AD 407 Constantine III, a claimant for the imperial throne based in Britain, led the troops from Britain to Gaul in an attempt to secure control of the Western Roman Empire. He failed and was killed in Gaul in AD 411. This left the Saxon Shore forts, which had been built by the Romans to protect the coast from attacks by raiding Saxons, virtually empty and the coast of Britain open to attack. In AD 410 there was a devastating raid on the undefended coasts of Britain and Gaul by Saxons raiders. Imperial governance in Britain collapsed and although aspects of Roman Britain continued after AD 410, Britain was no longer part of the Roman empire and saw increased settlement by Germanic people, particularly in the northern and eastern regions of England.

  • Gifts, Goods and Money
    Gifts, Goods and Money Gifts, Goods and Money: Comparing currency and circulation systems in past societies explores and Hofmann (eds) Brandherm, Heymans the economic and social roles of exchange systems in past societies from a variety of different perspectives. Based on a broad range of individual case studies, the authors tackle problems Comparing currency and circulation systems surrounding the identification of (premonetary) currencies in the archaeological record. These concern the part played by weight measurement systems in their development, the changing role of objects as they shift between different spheres of exchange, e.g. from gifts in past societies to commodities, as well as wider issues regarding the role of exchange networks as agents of social and economic change. Among the specific questions the papers address is what happens when new objects of value are introduced into a system, or when existing objects go out of use, as well as how exchange systems react to events such as crises or the emergence of new polities and social constellations. One theme that unites most of the papers is the tension between what is introduced from the outside and changes that are driven by social transformations within a given group. Dirk Brandherm studied Archaeology, Classics and Social Anthropology at the universities of Münster, Edinburgh and Freiburg. Most of his work has been in European Bronze and Iron Age archaeology, with one focus on metalwork production and depositional practices. He currently holds a position of Lecturer at Queen’s University Belfast, Northern Ireland. Elon Heymans studied archaeology at the University of Amsterdam and at Tel Aviv University.

Rowe, (Department of Greek and Roman Studies) Supervisor Dr. J. Geoffrey Kron, (Department of Greek and Roman Studies) Departmental Member The purpose of this thesis is to determine whether the Roman administrative towns of Britain continued in their original Romanized form as seen in the second century AD, or were altered in their appearance and function in the fourth and fifth century, with a visible reduction in their urbanization and Romanization. It will be argued that British town life did change significantly. Major components of urbanization were disrupted with the public buildings disused or altered for other purposes, and the reduction or cessation of public services. A reduction in the population of the towns can be perceived in the eventual disuse of the extramural cemeteries and abandonment of substantial areas of settlement or possibly entire towns.

  • Diocletian's Palace at Split in Light of Sasanian Palace Design
    CHAPTER 11 Rival Powers, Rival Images: Diocletian’s Palace at Split in Light of Sasanian Palace Design Anne Hunnell Chen It is well known that the third century AD saw intense and prolonged conflict between the Romans and their eastern neighbors, the Sasanian Persians.1 What has often remained unrecognized, however, is the Roman court’s poignant use of visual media—both architectural and iconographical—to counter Sasanian claims of superiority on the world stage in this period.2 In particular, a signifi- cant parallel between the ideologically charged palatial spaces built in the two realms has remained overlooked due in large part to our conditioned way of viewing the fortified imperial palaces that began to appear in the eastern part of the Roman Empire in the late third century. Entrenched ideas about one of the touchstone monuments of the late Roman period, Diocletian’s palace at Split, located on the modern Croatian coast, have shaped the discussion of comparable, contemporary imperial resi- dences discovered in the last forty years at Šarkamen and Gamzigrad in east- ern Serbia. For this reason, a fresh look at Diocletian’s palace, informed by new archaeological data and a theoretical approach sensitive to inter- and trans- cultural perspectives, is necessary. Consideration of the Split residence with reference to comparanda both inside and outside the Roman Empire reveals that the design choices made in Roman palaces from the late third and early fourth centuries AD were part of a concerted effort on the part of late Roman 1 Matthew P.
